Design Strategies for Green/Energy-Efficient Building Design: An Apartment Building in the Gaziantep Project
(Springer International Publishing, 2020) Çelebi, G.; Yazıcıoğlu, M.; Tunçer, M.; 238157; Şehir ve Bölge Planlama
The aim of this study is to introduce the energy-efficient architectural design strategies of a project which has been supported by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. This project has not yet been implemented, and the construction process and material choices have not been finalized. Nevertheless, it was considered important to share the design strategies and decisions. The location of the project is in Gaziantep City. The city is located in the southern part of Turkey. Some parts of the province, situated at the transition point of the Mediterranean and continental climate, are influenced by the Mediterranean climate. However, in general, summers are extremely hot and dry, and the winters are cold and rainy. Rare precipitation is most common in winter and spring. In the project, both in planning and architectural designing, the climatic and environment conditions were considered as a basic guider. Five principles were used in the design approach: “green/energy-efficient”, “buildings with identity”, “smart”, “safety”, and “human oriented”. For every principle, different strategies have been analysed and studied. In this study, only the design decisions for a green/energy-efficient building will be presented. While considering the principles and design decisions, strategies will be explained with references from scientific studies. In the green/energy-efficient design approach, the decisions transferred to the physical environment focused on the use of “passive systems”, “active systems”, and “resource conservation and local material use”. In passive solar system, principles such as “natural ventilation and wind control”, “sun control and natural daylighting”, “green roof”, and “envelope design and insulation” are considered and analysed. Solar heating is preferred during heating periods, and wind energy is preferred during cooling periods. Active solar systems were used during the seasons when the requirements were not met. Among the renewable energy sources, it is deemed appropriate to produce electricity from the sun (PV), which is the easiest way to reach and use alternative energy sources. Sun collectors in water heating were used. Also, these systems are integrated into the buildings. The basic approaches that affect the environmental performance of the building are to use local materials and to read the topography and microclimate conditions correctly. One of the most important factors affecting the shaping of the traditional buildings is the surrounding resources. In the construction of buildings, to use materials with the most sustainable resources available in the environment was proposed. Within the context of the principles and strategies mentioned above, projects have been prepared for buildings with different functions. Four- to five-storey apartments, detached houses, religious buildings, educational buildings, cultural centre, health centre, and traditional shopping malls were designed, which are related to planning and landscape principles. In this study, an apartment building will be presented with visual materials from project. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

Indoor Soundscapes of the Future: Listening to Smart Houses
(wiley, 2023) Alkan, A.L.; Yörükoğlu, P.N.D.; Kitapci, K.; 214925; İç Mimarlık
The acoustic environment of smart houses impacts the overall quality of life and wellbeing of occupants. A well-designed acoustic environment can promote relaxation, while excessive noise or distractions can negatively impact wellbeing. It is crucial to consider sound’s role in smart house design. Smart houses have built-in virtual assistants that respond to voice commands, perform various tasks, and verbally respond to such commands. This machine-to-human-to-machine verbal interaction requires high speech intelligibility (i.e., low reverberation time and high signal-to-noise ratio) in smart houses, which is not required for traditional homes. The open floor plan and multi-purpose rooms in smart houses can create challenges for sound management. This can be addressed by creating separate zones for different activities or using room dividers that help to direct and absorb sound. The design of smart houses includes the placement of speakers and other audio devices to optimize sound quality and distribution. Speakers are installed in the ceiling or walls to create a more immersive and balanced listening experience. The placement of microphones and other sensors should also be optimized for smart houses. Microphones should be placed where sound is most likely heard or where it best captures voice commands. Integrating multiple audio sources and devices creates challenges in managing and organizing sound in a smart house. Designers should consider configuring smart devices and ensuring that different devices are compatible and functioning properly. © 2024 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
